we get baptized in WALDEN pond amongst a searing mob
because the cleansing blood of Jesus could not do a THOROUGH job

…I think the Walden Pond reference points to a, “Thoreau job” (as in Henry David) rather than a “thorough job”.

I just started reading Walden Pond (by Emerson) last week, found out Emerson was a disciple of Thoreau’s . . . or I never would have picked up on the subtle reference myself.

FYI. Hope it helps.

It’s a great song and I thought it was worth getting it right
